He was taken to Children’s Medical Center, where his initial condition was described as critical.

His injuries include a fractured leg, a broken arm and a dislocated shoulder. But, it’s the impact to his head that commands the most concern of those close to him.Word was starting to spread at his school, Nagel, where he is an eighth grader.

Donations are pouring in for the victim’s family. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help cover his medical bills.
